Would you feed your family antibiotics for breakfast?

Most Nigerians would say never. But every time you eat eggs from farms that use routine antibiotics, that might be exactly what’s happening.

As Hilda Baci stirs the Guinness World Records’ largest pot of jollof, we are stirring up something different here in Nigeria: eggs you can trust — 100% antibiotic-free!

Routine use of antibiotics in poultry farming fuels antimicrobial resistance — one of the biggest health threats of our time. Yet in Nigeria, almost all commercial egg producers still rely on antibiotics.

At Petros Farms, we have proudly maintained a 100% antibiotic-free standard for more than two years — giving families eggs they can trust.

♥️ Congratulations, Hilda, on this remarkable achievement!

And congratulations to Petros Farms too. We also have a reason to celebrate. 🇳🇬
